The Spanish press employed 11.1% fewer workers in 2009 than in 2008, according to the Editors' Association of Spanish Newspapers.
In total, Spain's newspapers reduced their employee numbers from 11,474 to 10,190. Most of the cuts occurred in general information dailies and sport publications.
Of the most popular dailies in the country, El Pais cut the largest number of jobs (392) while ABC reduced its staff by 103 and El Mundo let 14 workers go.
These figures emerged a couple of months after it was reported that those three papers plus La Razón eliminated 906 staff jobs between 2003 and 2009.
